The University of Iowa's impact on the state of Iowa extends far beyond the edges of Johnson County. The combined energy of our faculty, students, and staff drives the University's outreach programs in all of Iowa's 99 counties. In medical clinics across the state, UI doctors, nurses, and medical students are caring for patients. And graduates of the University are staying in Iowa to work and to create new business opportunities. The stories in this annual report for fiscal year 1999-2000 capture the imprint that Iowa's premier state university makes, border to border, in serving the people of Iowa.
